I seem to get a black screen between the image and the game loading, something that wasn't present when it was just the grey loading box. Any idea how to extend how long the image shows?
For those who got a white screen after changing themes, you just have to restart emulation station. And for those who can't get in to change the settings, you have to wait for the image to go away and the screen is black to press A button. you gotta press it quick though.
I love the Tronkyfran also but I noticed a problem after choosing it and I noticed in this video that you have the same issue. The 3D box art from scraping is displayed in your FBA and SNES, but not in your Megadrive (which I've switched mine over to show Genesis). Any ideas how to get the box art back? Ive rescraped both Megadrive and Genesis ROM folders through Universal XML Scraper but with no luck
So I went and did this but when my Launching Images show on screen, I have black bars on the top and bottom of the image. Any idea why this is happening? It doesnt appear that yours was doing this..
How do I remove the load screen image, now that I have switched over to this style loading image setup, I cant go into the configure menu ( press a to configure ) during the game boot up. Not sure what had changed...
can i use one theme but then have it so it uses another for the launch images. Like if i wanna keep carbon as my theme but have the launch images from clean look? possible?
I know this was done yeeeeears ago. But I’m new to the party and I had the same question. Loved tronkyfran loading images, but I really wanted{needed😂} the comic book theme. Closed my eyes and went for for it! It worked!!!!! I have a centipede countercade modded to have a joystick with trackball. Comic book theme and Tronkyfran loading images!!!! Thanks ETA your videos are amazing!
I got this goin but i noticed its not working with ALL themes so for now im going with the the themes that work but....Now i need the image to run longer?It only runs for like 2 seconds and then goes to all the games startup crap i know theres a way to make it longer i cant remember how can anybody help?
Hi ETA Prime. How can I get this amazing look, which you've got at 8:00 für SNES?? Is there a tutorial, you show it to us? I love it! I just have a ugly list of games.... Please help me!! Thank you!!
Hi - love this and thanks for sharing but it seems to disable the option of holding A when a game loads to access the options. Do you have the same issue?
I know this is late but maybe it'll help others. I thought I had the same problem you had. I found if I keep taping A really fast during the launch screen, the options will come up. I just seems to be a bit more finicky than before, but it does still work.
This is great stuff I'll have to mess with it. I love the Tronkyfran theme. I did however have to edit some of the images to fix the Steam logo for my Steam system and I added a custom image for the Sega 32x. Might have to do this next. The creator has some extra images packed in the Theme folders you can swap out as well!
Does anyone know how to get this to work with Ruckage's SNES Mini theme? I got a RetroPie system set-up and for some reason the config to generate images for the launching images won't work with the backgrounds of the every system I'm emulating. I am running a RetroPi Model 3 B+. Update: Never mind, I found the set that Ruckage made for the theme.
Yep, already edited mine. Copy a different image to the roms folder (can be any folder really). Then through file manager copy the new image to the themes folder, delete the old one and rename your file. You have to do it through file manager as you won't have access rights to the etc folder
Where are the files located? I found it in /etc/emulationstation/themes//snes/art Replaced the file (JPG) with a picture that i like, but i still see no changes. (file name: snes_art_blur.jpg - snes_art_blur2.jpg and snes_art_blur3.jpg Is this correct? because this is not working.
Hey ETA. A quick question. Ive backed up my SD card image to my PC. Its a 64gb card. However, when I try to write the image to another 64gb card, it says I have insufficient room. I can only write it to a lrger capacity card (128gb) Is there a way to write the image to a 64 gb
press button 0 on your joystick several times while the image is displayed. (two presses should be enough, but pressing several times assures it works ;-) )
ETA PRIME, as always... thank you very much for this video and every other one. It is always helpful. One problem I have with this method is that...for some reason....my megadrive and atari images that I got using scraper... they look sooooo tiny! but psx and snes look great.. any thoughts?
when i switch to tronkyfran theme, i just get a white screen. how can i i fix it? i got it to go back to carbon, but i'd like to have a working tronkyfran theme...
Emmanuele Bernardini i'm afraid to restart after switching to tronkyfran. if it comes back up white, i won't know what system is selected or be able to change it back.
I know from personal experience that if you restart the Pi or even just emulationstation it may work perfectly. But this may not be the case if you have too many systems installed. Worth a try maybe. Google "retropie white screen of death" and backup your image before you try
totally takes it to the next level. unfortunately it reverted my turbografix logo back to PC engine. will redo you 4.1.16 logo change method to see if it can be fixed. rad thanks again.
@naggleZ / LO22EE P - It works, you just have to wait to press A during the brief window of time in-between the showing of the graphic, and the starting of the game. That split-second when the screen is black... try it then.
If leaving it at 5 seconds means that you go directly from the graphic into the game, without that brief period of having a black screen, then yes. You need to be able to hit A when the screen is black, in-between the graphic and the start of the game.
I still can't get killer instinct to work either, and Sf3 third strike is also giving me a headache. But get killer instinct on SNES works, I really want the arcade ROM to work though.
I only had about 8 systems. But after installing tonkytran theme. Every restart would take me to the console select screen with a white bar at the top. controllers did nothing. Started to freak out as I thought I had to wipe my SD. This link saved my life. If anyone else gets this FYI retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2936/a-stuck-theme-frozen-can-t-change-themes-or-revert-back/3
i just add a png picture on the mame 2010 folder named: launching.png and every game there will start with that png picture instead of the message box, i did the same on every console folder and all emulators folders
Thanks for awesome, easy tutorials! This made things look much sexier. Only emulator it couldn't find, was Game and Watch. Understandable as it's a pretty obscure, niche thing. Still, is there any way to import something to fill the gap?
great tutorial. but ... holy shit ... you have killer instinct 1 and 2 on your list. how you made it working ? i wish to see tutorial about it ;) cheers
I having an issue with some of the pics at the emulator selection screen not showing. PS Sega mame will work but Nintendo and others may not. Not always the same ones don't work either. only happens with tronky theme, clean works fine
I'll be using this. Thank you sooooooo much for the way you "dumb down" your instructions. Very easy to follow and very much appreciated!
Congrats on 1 million subscribers! Thank you for all your hard work!
@ETA PRIME your voice is super cool and smooth.
One of the greatest and most helpful channels! Thanks for your time.
I seem to get a black screen between the image and the game loading, something that wasn't present when it was just the grey loading box. Any idea how to extend how long the image shows?
Nice. This is like an expansion on the run command slash screen video that you released about a month ago.
For those who got a white screen after changing themes, you just have to restart emulation station. And for those who can't get in to change the settings, you have to wait for the image to go away and the screen is black to press A button. you gotta press it quick though.
Thanks for the video! Can't wait to get home from work to make the changes to my system
How do you get the Game text to be on the Right with the Game image on the Right. My game text is centered and no images
Hi. One issue I have noticed. As soon you run the game and then trying to enter runcommand settings. By pressing A to enter settings - not workings.
same here, doesn't work, is there a chance to edit the button that has to be pressed?
This was helpful. Now ny RetroPie is kickass
I love the Tronkyfran also but I noticed a problem after choosing it and I noticed in this video that you have the same issue. The 3D box art from scraping is displayed in your FBA and SNES, but not in your Megadrive (which I've switched mine over to show Genesis). Any ideas how to get the box art back? Ive rescraped both Megadrive and Genesis ROM folders through Universal XML Scraper but with no luck
Thanks for the tips, ETA! I'm in awe right now!
Nice! Although the title made me think this was a tutorial on how to launch a disc image. Me dumb. Thanks eta!
I dont have 012 launching images option, What to do? 4:10 in the video
is there a list to see with themes supported launching images
So I went and did this but when my Launching Images show on screen, I have black bars on the top and bottom of the image. Any idea why this is happening? It doesnt appear that yours was doing this..
How do I remove the load screen image, now that I have switched over to this style loading image setup, I cant go into the configure menu ( press a to configure ) during the game boot up. Not sure what had changed...
I had to hit button 0 a few times AFTER the load screen, during the black screen, for the configure menu to load.
Todd Berry press enter on the keyboard two times as soon as you choose the game, thats it
Thanks for sharing! Just adjusted this on my Pi
can i use one theme but then have it so it uses another for the launch images. Like if i wanna keep carbon as my theme but have the launch images from clean look? possible?
I know this was done yeeeeears ago. But I’m new to the party and I had the same question. Loved tronkyfran loading images, but I really wanted{needed😂} the comic book theme. Closed my eyes and went for for it! It worked!!!!! I have a centipede countercade modded to have a joystick with trackball. Comic book theme and Tronkyfran loading images!!!! Thanks ETA your videos are amazing!
Is possible to change the image of one system in the system,s selection menu?? I,d like to change the master system 2 image
Is there a way to revert it back without flashing the image all over again?
Yes, back there and put default or something like that
doing this now (9-mar-2018) i get the message "could not successfully install scraper for emulationstation" is there any easy solution for this?
I got this goin but i noticed its not working with ALL themes so for now im going with the the themes that work but....Now i need the image to run longer?It only runs for like 2 seconds and then goes to all the games startup crap i know theres a way to make it longer i cant remember how can anybody help?
hi I've tried it and all I get is a flashing emulation station on start up will not go any further any help
Is it possible to give each individual game it's own loading screen?
I can only seem to get the arcade version to work. None of the others work for me
You can quite easily set it to display the box art while loading, I think that looks nicer
jason jones yep I did a video on that also
My loading images (when launching a game) went away after doing this how can I get it back?
Where can i find the Tronkyfran theme? I have downloaded all the themes and i dont have that as an option. i am currently running RetroPie 4.4.1
how did you get those sweet 3 image album art images? I was using UXS for a while, but I kept getting errors.
Hi ETA Prime.
How can I get this amazing look, which you've got at 8:00 für SNES?? Is there a tutorial, you show it to us? I love it!
I just have a ugly list of games.... Please help me!!
Thank you!!
You need to scrape your ROMS. He's done videos on that already.
That's awesome. thank you eta prime. I love your videos.
Hi - love this and thanks for sharing but it seems to disable the option of holding A when a game loads to access the options. Do you have the same issue?
I know this is late but maybe it'll help others. I thought I had the same problem you had. I found if I keep taping A really fast during the launch screen, the options will come up. I just seems to be a bit more finicky than before, but it does still work.
can you please do i video adding bezels for all games and consoles in attract mode please
This is great stuff I'll have to mess with it. I love the Tronkyfran theme.

so did they fix the emulator limit crash in ES?... (white screen, black screen of death)
Does anyone know how to get this to work with Ruckage's SNES Mini theme? I got a RetroPie system set-up and for some reason the config to generate images for the launching images won't work with the backgrounds of the every system I'm emulating. I am running a RetroPi Model 3 B+.
Update: Never mind, I found the set that Ruckage made for the theme.
Mine asks for a password (once) when Ive done this. Anyway to not have it ask for a password?
killer instinct arcade on final burn?? in retropie? please record video testing this game
Awesome. Thank you for sharing this when I get my RaspberryPi and Retropie up & running, I will be trying this out. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can you change the Super Nintendo image to the European one?
Yep, already edited mine. Copy a different image to the roms folder (can be any folder really).
Then through file manager copy the new image to the themes folder, delete the old one and rename your file.
You have to do it through file manager as you won't have access rights to the etc folder
Thanks! There was a perfect Image already in the folder so I renamed and used that one.
Where are the files located? I found it in /etc/emulationstation/themes//snes/art Replaced the file (JPG) with a picture that i like, but i still see no changes. (file name: snes_art_blur.jpg - snes_art_blur2.jpg and snes_art_blur3.jpg Is this correct? because this is not working.
found the image and changed it. its ok now. you can do that trough the samba share, Configs folder and then the console map.
Hey ETA. A quick question. Ive backed up my SD card image to my PC. Its a 64gb card. However, when I try to write the image to another 64gb card, it says I have insufficient room. I can only write it to a lrger capacity card (128gb) Is there a way to write the image to a 64 gb
Taemoata Fong you need to shrink that image, Search in Google how to It you may need a Linux virtual machine
It's because the sd cards aren't exactly 64 gig in size, for example one could be 63.5 gb and the one you got the image from could be 65.1 gb.
Awesome! Is this available for recalbox???
Great Video! Question: Can the scraped images be used in attract mode as well?
since I've enabled this, I haven't been able to press A to enter the configuration when a game starts to load.
press button 0 on your joystick several times while the image is displayed.
(two presses should be enough, but pressing several times assures it works ;-) )
I think it might be asking for a password like mine. So I have to enter password and then smash the A button lol. I'm on a linux laptop though no a pi
ETA PRIME, as always... thank you very much for this video and every other one. It is always helpful. One problem I have with this method is that...for some reason....my megadrive and atari images that I got using scraper... they look sooooo tiny! but psx and snes look great.. any thoughts?
when i switch to tronkyfran theme, i just get a white screen. how can i i fix it? i got it to go back to carbon, but i'd like to have a working tronkyfran theme...
Have you tried restarting emulationstation?
Emmanuele Bernardini i'm afraid to restart after switching to tronkyfran. if it comes back up white, i won't know what system is selected or be able to change it back.
I know from personal experience that if you restart the Pi or even just emulationstation it may work perfectly. But this may not be the case if you have too many systems installed. Worth a try maybe.

I changed my setup to yours but now I cant access the options menu when pressing "A" on the loading screen for mame games?
Same, doesn't work any longer for any of my emulators
@naggleZ / LO22EE P - It works, you just have to wait to press A during the brief window of time in-between the showing of the graphic, and the starting of the game. That split-second when the screen is black... try it then.
Dave Lynch would it help if I changed the am out of seconds I left that screen up for. say from 5 to 3
If leaving it at 5 seconds means that you go directly from the graphic into the game, without that brief period of having a black screen, then yes. You need to be able to hit A when the screen is black, in-between the graphic and the start of the game.
Killer instinct for FBA ? Is it working its my fav fighting game :D
I still can't get killer instinct to work either, and Sf3 third strike is also giving me a headache. But get killer instinct on SNES works, I really want the arcade ROM to work though.
This is Awsome... Thanks ETA
i miss one thing the fds has no launch image
I love tronkyfran but it can only handle a few different systems and just goes all blank:(
just get flashing es screen any ideas I have 22 systems on mine
I only had about 8 systems. But after installing tonkytran theme. Every restart would take me to the console select screen with a white bar at the top. controllers did nothing. Started to freak out as I thought I had to wipe my SD. This link saved my life. If anyone else gets this FYI
retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2936/a-stuck-theme-frozen-can-t-change-themes-or-revert-back/3
i just add a png picture on the mame 2010 folder named: launching.png and every game there will start with that png picture instead of the message box, i did the same on every console folder and all emulators folders

Same here, you have any luck getting this working? I am only trying to do one SYSTEM (ARCADE) and have had no luck, only get errors.
Will this load the images in attract mode?
Yes
Thanks for awesome, easy tutorials! This made things look much sexier. Only emulator it couldn't find, was Game and Watch. Understandable as it's a pretty obscure, niche thing. Still, is there any way to import something to fill the gap?
Press A when the screen becomes black to enter configure menu
Love this.
nope doesnt work... says it failed to get images for every system..
Did you fix it ?
Thanks
great tutorial.
